The Ultimate Getaway Vehicle
Yeah but then there are far larger models from AirStream, something tells me this would make a perfect bedroom suite.

Glad everyone agrees! Chris, maybe that Fiat 500 in silver would be a perfect hauler for the Scout!

Black, White & Red All Over
Wow well done McDonald's, I love this innovative initiative! After all this branding efforts resulting in worldwide recognition and awareness, they now try to unbrand themselves! Keep us posted Brian!

The limits of free speech
The history of WWII and it's treatment of "what is fact or not" in education are quite familiar to the Japanese. Two years ago, when the Japanese released new school books that excluded many historical facts, the Chinese government used the omissions to stir up anti-Japanese sentiments and dissuade purchase of their goods.

No Love for Obama in Thailand
If this is the case, then many US trade markets will face a similar challenge, hopefully free trade will prevail!

Drug Killings Haunt Mexican School Children
What a tragic situation and one that is so perverse in that the drug lords are targeting youth, the least able to cope. The fact of the matter is that with greater non-drug economics, industry, and trade in legal goods, all hope that the drug lords drift away into history.

Crises punches $40b hole in budget
The financial crisis has governments across the globe reducing budget estimates, tax revenue forecasts and proposed expenditures. No nation in our closely aligned marketplace is immune.

Moscow by the sea
The sphere of influence commanded and being expanded by Russia across the globe is second only to that of China, both countries are expanding their "new colonialism."

Singapore acts as haven for Stem Cell Research
Good for Singapore, bad for the US if you consider the impact on mixing politics, religion and scientific research. It will be interesting to see what an Obama and Democrat controlled congress will bring in the way of change here.

The decentralization of the world's financial markets from the traditional means that markets such as Dubai have a new and substantial stake in global finance and economics.

Wills India Fashion Week offers general comfort, safety in urbane style
India is on the rise in so many ways, I see that this also includes the maturity of its fashion industry and ascendancy on the world stage.

Can WE Save US?
I think the reason why they would describe themselves (correctly) as independant, is because many of them come from new kinds of families with single parents or both hard working parents, so they have found themselves home alone (and with input of the world wide web) creating their own ideas and identification with brands, people and peers.

Marico India Hair Care Company Opens Plant in Egypt
It looks like the Egyptian market is well poised to continue in an open and consumer oriented direction.

Global Trade of Beef, Chicken, Sugar and Soy in Brazil
Brazil, as the US, is in the fortunate position of having excess capacity to harvest agricultural production that serves both domestic and overseas needs. So too do nations that include Argentina and Zimbabwe, yet both these nations are in dire agricultural straights with runaway inflation (ARG = 30%+ and ZIM = 2.5Million%) and rising levels of malnutrition to outright starvation. Lesson is that government trade policies, taxation and at times corruption can trump the most fertile of markets.

Milk, Mud and Hay Baths...
What an amazing and importable concept in service! Montana, Wyoming, anywhere there is hay, it's time to make hay and bath in the profits I would say!

imported foods found to be the cause of food poisoning
Changing tastes and the evolving food culture brings with is risks and the requirement perhaps for more food education, safety in handling, and stricter requirements for importers.

Who needs alcohol when you can have juice?
One could also argue that once publicly traded, ThaiBev will have to be more socially responsible, answering to the public more than they do as a private company. In the end this may be better for all.

China's coal use cost it $248 billion
China's proliferation in "dirty" coal based energy generation (2 new plants come on line weekly!) is not just an issue nationally, the global effects are becoming more pronounced, from neighboring nations including Korea and Japan to the North American West Coast, the polluting effects are being felt... 25% of West Coast pollution is estimated to be the bi-product of dirty coal energy in China.
